Recombination is one of the major reasons that limit solar cell efficiency. As a remedy, passivation reduces recombination both at the surface and the bulk. The field-effect passivation mitigates the surface recombination by the electric field generated by the excess doping layer or by the corona charging of the dielectric layer.
The review describes the evolution of the different cell structures based on passivation and classifies the passivation schemes according to the mechanism. The two ways of passivating the crystalline Si are either by reducing the minority carrier concentration at the surface or decreasing the intermediate density of states.
Point one above usually involves the formation of hydrogen and silicon bonds and is commonly referred to as ‘chemical passivation. Field or charge-effect passivation can be achieved by doping, or by the introduction of electrostatic charge at the surface interface, which repels minority carriers from the surface.
As a remedy, passivation minimizes the recombination at the surface and bulk by either neutralizing the dangling bonds or creating a field-effect. The review describes the evolution of the different cell structures based on passivation and classifies the passivation schemes according to the mechanism.
Low-cost double-sided passivation of perovskite solar cells improved perovskite surface and PV performance by 11.7 %. Biphenyl-4,4 -dicarboxylic acid used for the first time to passivate perovskite solar cells. Passivation created a barrier to migrating ions, reducing intrinsic degradation and J-V hysteresis.
Surface passivation methods can be categorised into two broad strategies: Reduce the number of interface sites at the surface. Reduce the population of either electrons or holes at the surface. Point one above usually involves the formation of hydrogen and silicon bonds and is commonly referred to as ‘chemical passivation.
